This past winter on one of the coldest nights my then fiance(now wife) left my house at midnight. I get call about 5 minutes later that the tires is making a weird noise. It was flat. In 15 degree weather with a bitter wind I was changing the dang tire on the RX350. Luckily her dad ended up just buying a new set of Micheleins for her car so now we have some time before we’ll have to do that again.

I nearly got frostbite from just airing up a tire for about 1 minute on the coldest night of this past winter. Top tip, do not put your ungloved fingers on a metal tire inflator chuck in ~5 degree weather! They will go numb in about 10 seconds and by the minute mark, will be borderline frostbitten.

I immediately soaked my hands in hot water for a half hour afterward, and still had a pins and needles sensation in them for the next few hours.

26.2 is a common sticker I see on vehicles of people who run marathons. 26.2 is the distance of a marathon, in miles.

Pretty much. Or burns a quart of 0W20 every 26.2 miles. Anyway, I don’t know if this is a thing in Canada, but it’s a magnet from finishing a marathon. 26.2 in an oval is a pretty common sticker that runners slap on their cars down here in the States. It started as a generic black number on a white oval but now lots of races make their own versions and give Them out to finishers. My wife has so many she couldn cover the entire tailgate, but I don’t want to put any stickers on my cars. This one is a magnet so it got a pass and she stuck it on the door instead of the liftgate to mess with me.
